if you want to go a step further-- there is a great little patch called "sms tone per contact", which will allow you to set different alert tones for each person that texts you.

I used to use those too, but depending on whatever series of patches you used, you may not be able to easily get your original tones back. So, I just stopped using them, and also backed up the original sounds, just in case.

Here's the stock alert and notification tones stick them in your ringtone folder and use away....
If you won't the old stock notification sound before it was changed I got that too

It allows you to set a sound/ringtone for Calendar alerts, SMS message alerts, and E-mail alerts. All independently right in the "Sounds & Ringtones" app/page.

Note: The "ALERT" tone is for the calendar notifications, the "NOTIFICATION" tone is for the e-mail alerts, and the "MESSAGES" is for incoming SMS messages alert.

If you want to take it a step further, it also gives you the ability to assign a distinct ringtone AND SMS message alert tone for individual contacts (any contact you don't assign a custom tone for uses the default tone you've set for that alert in the "Sounds & Ringtones" app).

The only thing this doesn't do...and it would be nice if it did but, I'm getting greedy here...is have the ability to set different e-mail alert tones for different e-mail accounts.

But, as it is, this patch is a must-have. This is the basic functionality that the phone should have out of the box.

My wife has an unpatched Pixi and it's so annoying..."Dink Dink!"...oh, she has an e-mail...or maybe a text message...or maybe a low battery...etc.

1. In the messaging app, go to preferences
2. in the SOUND row, tap on that and a drop down menu will appear
3. the default is "system alert", CHANGE that to ringtone
4. an option to change the ring tone on the bottom will appear.
5. choose whatever tone you like.
